That Tired FeeHi7Q

The warm weather has facilitating effect, especially upon those who are within doors most of the time. The peculiar, yet common, complaint known as "that tired feelng,' is the result. This feeling can be entirely overcome by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, which gives new life and strength to all the functions of the body.
 "I could not sleep; had no appetite. I took Hoods Sarsaparilla and soon began to sleep soundly; could get up without that tired and languid feeling; and my appetite improved" R. A. SANFORD, Kent, Ohio.
 Strengthen the System
 Hoods Sarsaparilla is characterized by three peculiarities :: 1st, the combination of remedial agents; 2d, the proportion; 5d, the process of securing the active medicinal qualities. The result is medicine of unusual strength, effecting cures hitherto unknown. Send for book containing additional evidence. Hoods SarsapariIla tones up my system, purlfies my blood, sharpens my appetite, and seems to make me oyer" J. r. THOMPSON, Register of Deeds, Lowell, Mass.
 "Hood's Sarsaparilla beats all others and is worth it's weight in gOld.' I. HARRINGTON, 1so Bank Street, New York City.

The coroner's inquest upon the body Of
Louis Lingg makes still palmer what was
apparent enough before that the Cook
county Jail is one of the most loosely
conducted institutions of the kind on the
face OF the earth. The authorities at the
Jail have rather prded themselves upon
their acuteness in discovering the bombs
in Lingo's cell 1t now appears that the
discovery was made by the merest ACCT
dent and was forced upon the i4il Of
ficials almost in spite Of themselves. One
of the gas pipe bombs happened to roll
out of a box and was picked up by a
turnkey under the impression that it was
used by Llngg as dumb bell Then the
box was accidentally kicked over, and
enough bombs rolled out to blow up the
whole Jail. Even after the discovery
Lingg was not watched closely enough to
prevent his obtaining means for his own
destruction. On the follow ne Thursday
morning he succeeded IN blowing the
greater part Of his head of with dynam,
lite. In order to lessen their own respon.
sibilty in the matter, the sheriff and
Jailor described the continuance as ful>
minating cap, thus seeking to convey the
Impression that the instrument Of death
was so small that It might easily have
escaped the notice of the most vigilant of
guards. But when put upon his oath

due notice of the desperate character of
his prisoner, thus allows him to cheat

oners did not seek in similar manner to
escape shameful death upon the gal.

A TALK WITH PARNElL
His Bad Health Keeps Him Insetiy Ellis
Opinion of the Government.

Opinion of the Government.
LONDON, Nov o. -Parnell, who is in Lon
don for a day or two on business matters,
was interviewed by a Coble News represen ia
tive Monday night. Parneil presents a care
worn appearance He said that Sir Henry
lhomp on, who has been treating him for a
year past, insists upon rest and recupera5on,
otherwise he will not be able to bear the Ia
bors of the coming session of parliament.
The Gable News representative drew ParnelPs
attention to the speech made by Michael
Davitt at Stepaside Sunday, and the latter
arraignment of Pyne.
I'll do not think it would become me, )" said
Parnell, ito criticise or approve the present
management OF the plan OF campaign Those
of my colleagues on the spot and actively en-
gagged in agitating the Irish question are the
best judges of what is due to our honor, and
what will best further our country's vel
fare"
@You may say that in ny judgment
more feeble or inefficient government never
held the rens in Ireland. They are teach
ing Ireland most disastrous lesson By their
hungling incapacity. They are teaching the
people of Ireland that the Law may be sue
cessfully dehed; for the law, as recently
constructed by the Unionist majority in the
house of commons is daily defied, and with
impunity, by thousands of members of the
suppressed branches of the National league
and b. every Irish Nationalist newspaper
editor; in fact, one of the extraordinary re-
suits of this coercion act and this firm, reso-
lute government, is that for every otfense
against the law ADMITTED before the act was
passed hundreds are committed now"
The Times referring to the Bbove, says it
has confirmed the suspicion that Parnell is
really not the leader of the Irish party, but
merely,,an old parliamentary hand retained by
the real leaders to do the work that they
themselves are unable to do, namely, to
manage the work of the party in the house
of commons.

in a Trench-A Sunken Schooner.
CAIRO, Ills, Nov % = Hoping against hope,
for twelve-month past the people Of this
district and for 100 miles in every direction,
have at last settled down to brood in despair.
No rain, no rain, and now comes upon them
the first cold wave from the north, giving
sad warning that winter will soon clasp
them in his icy embrace. Every stream,
water-course, almost every well and spring
are dry. Never in the memory Of man has
the Ohio river been at so low stage, while
navigation has long since been entirely sus-
pended between Cairo and Paducah To add
to the poverty and distress contingent upon
so long drought there now threatens another
most alarming disaster, that of forest fires.
South OF here for forty miles in Missouri;
east into Kentucky and Tennessee, and north
nearly 100 miles in Illinois, the dense forests
are wreathed almost in one solid sheet of
flame. Smoke, like a funeral pail, hangs
over the earth. The transfer steamers at
this point, even with the aid of electric lights,
can make no trips after nightfalL Farmers
are fleeing from their homes, not even dar-
ing to look back as witnesses Of the destruc-
ton coming so suddenly upon them. What
little grain they saved from the summers
work, houses barns, and miles of fences are
destroyed by the fury of the flames
1t must be remembered that there are but
few large landholders in this region, and the
small ones are not given to thrift as are their
more northern neighbors. The winters being
usually mild and open, these people do not
put up corn in shocks nor stack wheat and
Dat straw, but rely upon the rich young cane,
the pea vine, the abundant mast, and succu-
lent grasses for wintering over their hogs
and cattle. But the forests all ablazs, the
earth burned to a crisp, and the streams
| dried up, leave them without any feed what
ever for stock. II rain does not come. and
| in abundance, this week, thousands of these
people will necessarily become paupers.
| A report came Sunday that party Of
| hunters from central Illinois, twenty-five in
number, had been surrounded by fire in
| "Nigger-wool Swamp thirty miles from
here in Missouri, and probably were all
burned up; at least citizen who had hired
| the party some dogs, says the dogs came
home last Saturday with their hair all burned
off, and that none of the gentlemen had yet
been heard from Numerous instances Of loss
of life are hourly being reported as having
occurred by forest fires in Missouri Ken
